Whatch'n out for make-up, trimmed hair.

Or look at the Pastors wifes ring....and then talk about how big that rock was....

I was UPC for 17 years... I know the drill.

Most of the time at Rallies and conferences it was a Fashion show.

I have noticed that Now, UPC women frequent the tanning bed.

Those white UPC women are dark!!:

Coop,

The tanning bed keeps them from having to wear makeup or be out in the sun in bathing suits.

Then after a couple of days I'd be opening those boxes to read their posts anyway... but at least I eventually learned to stop responding to things that got me riled up.

One of Coop's many misconceptions is that he thinks it bothers me that he has me on ignore.

To be honest with you, I said what I said just for a little comic relief.

I haven't followed the thread too closely.

We've been over this stuff so many times over the years that I don't figure you and I have all that much new material to use on one another.

Yea, you're right it's been fun hitting each other over the head with these here blow up baseball bats....

I am neither baptist, AoG or any member of a denominational organization...so I cannot say anything about them.

It would be like telling you what it is like being a democrat.

You have gone on about this like it is just a UPC/Apostolic thing...what do you want? Do you want to be a part of one of the afore mentioned groups? Last I checked, there is no "Jesus" denomination, as I don't think anyone is egotistical enough to create a movement that is just like Jesus...

You rave against the beliefs of UPC/Apostolics. Everyone says, "Oh NOOOOoooo...you just ask pertinent questions..." Well, no, you are frustrated with it...You don't want to be wrong about it, so you make excuses for not believing in it...You discount it down to culture, you deny that there is power in what we as Apostolics believe...

You deny the link to COOP but....

It's just a matter of COOP's Laurel to Carps Hardy

Ok, I guess it is time for me to be gone, this isn't worth it anymore. You win.

Thanks...I really needed that. You are brutally wrong...brutally...no...more than brutally if there is a word stronger than brutally, I would use that word of how wrong you are.
